When looking around Zillow, I see a trend for some of the houses for sale, which goes as follows:1.

I've been looking into some rehab projects and have started seeing a trend where killer buy/hold rentals seem like they would make great BRRRRs in theory, but the actual ARV number isn't big enough to cover the 75% during re-fi.

They claim that the flat fee per unit model is the new trend so I'm wondering what other people are experiencing.  

So while December 2018 sales volume was down, the market is still healthy and chugging along due to the huge influx of new blood coming from the Bay Area (more on that in a minute).The thing to understand about Sacramento is that we're still trending with increasing home values.We're a little more secure in that than the rest of our country due to the close proximity to a much pricier market.

But, I have started to notice a trend which sparked a question I cant find the answer for. 

Will the trend continue in 2019?

Hi @Maurice Lucas Jr I think it’s just a trend. 

You want to look at demographic trends, restrictions to construction of more units, job growth, population growth, quality of schools, ease of access to Nyc/jobs.

Look at the trend of population growth by cities, that gives you an idea which cities have the highest housing demand. 

Do some research on the local market and population growth trends.
